In a diagram depicting chromosomal alterations, a deletion is typically represented by a segment of the chromosome that is missing or absent. Without seeing the actual diagram, I can't designate which chromosome indicates a deletion. However, you should look for a chromosome where a part of the chromosome appears to be cut or missing compared to a normal chromosome structure. If you provide more detail about the diagram or the specifics of each chromosome, I'd be glad to help you identify the deletion.
The diagram below shows several chromosomal alterations.
Which chromosome represents a deletion?

The cell cycle is disrupted when a cell that is undergoing mitosis incorrectly interprets a chemical signal to stop dividing. Typically, uncontrolled cell division results. The uncontrolled growth causes the cell to -

Uncontrolled cell division is a hallmark of cancer, where cells divide uncontrollably due to failed regulatory mechanisms in the cell cycle. This can result in the formation of tumors and malignant growths. The other options provided do not accurately reflect the consequence of uncontrolled cell division.
